Wall Mounted MP3 jukebox
CitznFish:
Anyone have pics or details on these? I am wiring my rec room with 4 ceiling speakers and plan on constructing one of these boxes. I figure i can power the speakers with a car amp and the entire jukebox should be able to mount on the wall into some studs. It should swing open for maintenence. I have an old laptop I was thinking of disassembling for the flat screen. Never tried anything like this before, what is everyone's opinion?
BobA:
Cyberpunk sells plans for his implementation of a wall mounted jukebox.
As for building your own from a laptop sometimes the relocation of the screen is difficult. It depends on the vintage of your laptop and how the screen is connected.

i don't think he sells those plans anymore. I remember seeing a few example images as well but those seem to be gone too...

Laptop screen may be more trouble than they are worth... they are very expensive to hook to a PC (I'm guessing if you have a laptop you are willing to rip apart that it is probably pretty slow. Slow laptop may not run VMJ well). I would start thinking LCD monitor for a wall mount project. Also with the car amp idea... I am not sure of the magnetic properites of a car amp. Remember magnets+computers are bad.
Good luck on your project.

This is the kind of info i'm looking for. I thought the car amp may put off to much heat as well. I prob. could shield the computer if I had to.
The laptop I was think of just leaving it folded open. It's fairly new, (P3 1 ghz I think). My office got new laptops for everyone and i kept my old one since it was going to be tossed out.
Would there be another way to amplify the sound? It's going through 4 JBL ceiling speakers and Ceiling mounted sub woofer...
